Multi-column Spreadsheets in Connect

Scott O'Reilly, May 19, 2014

Lately we've been writing a lot about new things in Scoreboard/QuickScore, but that doesn't mean we've been ignoring Connect! This is the first in a series of posts about enhancements to our data import tool.

One of the most popular things to do with Connect is to import metric values from an Excel spreadsheet. In previous versions of Connect, you could only have one metric value column per import. So, if you had a spreadsheet with 4 metric value columns, you had to create 4 imports for the same spreadsheet.

Connect now allows you to select multiple metric value columns per import, which will be a huge time saver.

Likewise, you used to be able to select up to five Metric ID/Name columns to create a unique key for your metric values. We've increased that number to 12, which will be helpful for people who previously had trouble making unique metric names.
